   Is there anything you can do to this to improve the bhp or speed ?
   like boring it out like the throttle body ?

   Or fitting throttle bodies,which is always a good idea in my book.

    you dont need to remove the head to do the cams though. the bolts in the middle underneath will be real hard tog et at. you may aswell do a head gasket change while your on + new belt.

    lol, oh well. tbh though there isnt really anything to remove from the inlet manifold.
    and you dont want to make the manifold ports bigger than the head ports.

    i know i thought about that mate. getting the head port & polished though so can bore out the manifold to the same as the ported inlet holes

    Spencer the car is fuc again so I cant get it to powerflow for them to sort it and I'm on holiday next week so I'm running out of time but if you still want it when I get back let me know.
    
    In regards to this thread it seems alot of hassle for minimal gain.

    yer i see where your coming from mate but if you can squeeze that bit more power out of a few things then it all adds up and i love my sax so for me its well worth havin a go!
